Cattle And Sheep

Most measurements of digestibility are earned out with sheep rather than cattle because of the smaller amounts of feed and faeces involved. Yet the results are most often used with cattle. It is widely believed that digestibility in sheep is poorer than cattle with low digestibility feedstuffs and better with high digestibility feedstuffs, but that the magnitude of the differences is small. However, this belief is largely based on work with forages and there have been few direct comparisons between cattle and sheep fed concentrate ingredients. The objective of this experiment was to compare the digestibility by cattle and sheep of five samples of concentrate ingredients: citrus pulp, molassed beet pulp, corn gluten feed, barley and grain screenings.

Abstract Last year, over 110 million metric tons of corn silage and 2.7 million metric tons of alfalfa were harvested (USDA, 2018). Despite these amounts and because forage is costly to transport, individual dairy producers who experience troubling seeding, growing, and/or harvest may be faced with the challenge of maintaining normal milk production by feeding less forage. Fortunately, non-forage fiber sources (NFFS) may be used to supply nutrients that would otherwise come from forages. Furthermore, many of these feeds, such are corn gluten feed, beet pulp, brewers grains, canola meal, distillers grains and solubles, and soyhulls are plentifully in the Midwestern United States. Although each NFFS is unique and the chemical composition may vary due to source, when making ration balancing decisions to include them, nutritionists may be faced with similar challenges. These challenges include that these feeds are low in effective fiber, many contain less fiber than forages, are higher in rumen undegradable protein, may vary in chemical composition, and may include toxins or antinutritional factors. Although the modern dairy cow is adaptable and can utilize use NFFS as sources of nutrients to produce milk, there are still limitations to how they can be included in diets.

Abstract This experiment compared the performance response of supplementing corn gluten feed (CGF) or corn to calves grazing stockpiled tall fescue pastures over a 70-d period. Forty-four Angus x Simmental calves (238 ± 4 kg) were stratified across 6 treatments by BW and sex in a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement. Calves were supplemented cracked corn (n = 16) or CGF (n = 18). Calves were housed in 2 pastures and supplemented individually using the SmartFeed Pro feeding system, with all treatments represented in each pasture. Supplement DMI was programmed at 0.59, 0.87, or 1.13% BW. Calves which failed to train to the feeding system (n = 10) were treated as an un-supplemented control. Weight and flesh condition score (FCS) were recorded every 14-d, and ultrasound 12th rib fat thickness (FT) was measured on d 0 and 70. Data were analyzed with PROC GLM in SAS with supplement type as a main effect, sex as a fixed effect, and group as a random effect. Individual supplement DMI was included in the model as a covariate rather than a main effect due to high variation. Significance was defined at P ≤ 0.05 and means were separated using LSD. Initial BW, FCS, and FT were similar (P ≥ 0.12) among treatments. No differences (P ≥ 0.25) were observed in supplement DMI throughout the experiment. No differences (P ≥ 0.64) were observed in ADG and supplement G:F through 14 d. Through d 28 to 70, CGF-fed calves had greater (P ≤ 0.03) ADG and supplement G:F relative to corn-fed calves. Final FCS was greater (P < 0.01) for CGF-supplemented calves relative to those supplemented corn, though FT was not different (P = 0.87). These data indicate that supplementing CGF rather than corn yields a greater performance response in beef calves grazing stockpiled tall fescue.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different additives on the fermentation quality, bacterial community, and aerobic stability of total mixed ration (TMR) silage containing wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) and corn stover. The TMR was ensiled with four treatments: (1) no additive (control); (2) lactic acid bacteria (LAB); (3) fibrolytic enzyme (EN); (4) LAB + EN. The EN and LAB + EN decreased the neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber contents. Additives led to a higher lactic acid (LA) content (p < 0.0001) compared to control at all ensiling times. Silages inoculated with LAB and LAB + EN had higher dry matter (p = 0.0007), LA (p < 0.0001) and acetic acid (AA) contents (p < 0.0001) compared to control. The LAB and LAB + EN had significantly lowest ammonia nitrogen among the treatments, while no significant difference occurred after days 7 of ensiling. Silages treated with LAB and LAB + EN had a higher LAB count (p < 0.0001) and a lower pH, yeast, and mold counts compared to other silages. The LAB and LAB + EN greatly increased the portions of Firmicutes and Lactobacillus (p < 0.0001, and p < 0.0001, respectively) and reduced undesirable bacteria. Inoculation with LAB + EN and LAB improved aerobic stability of TMR silages indicated by higher and more stable LA and AA contents, smaller rise in pH, and yeast count than other silages. The LAB + EN and LAB reduced microbial diversity and improved the fermentation quality and aerobic stability of TMR silage containing WCGF and corn stover.
